I am currently on a Non-Immigrant O spousal with multi re-entry permit all expiring in April '26. I plan to switch to a DTV in December during a trip to the UK.

Do I need to actively cancel my Non-Imm O or does it simply get cancelled when I come back in on my DTV?

If I do need to cancel it how do I go about that?

How far in advance should you applied for the retirement visa in your own country I'm coming over in march next year to start sorting my retirement out i will be staying in undon thani thanks for your input

Hi . Travelling to Bangkok on a non immigrant o spouse visa ( 90 days ) issued by thai embassy in Uk . What purpose of travel should I put and do I need to put a return flight date ? Tanks

Hello everyone, does someone have any experiences with a Confirmation review of the pension notice by German embassy in Bangkok if someone wants to use a combination of his pension and his Thai Bank balance ( the sum 800 000 Baht in a year) as Proof of finances for a non immigrant O retirement visa extension at a immigration office? The non O , 90 day visa stamp is already in the passport while entered Thailand at Suvanabhumi airport.

Should the pension letter be in English language or Thai or it is enough in German language but approved by the embassy?

Thank you for any advice coming from people who really knows the matter and not just talking.

😊🙏😊

Does anyone know of a reputable agent in Chiang Mai for assistance with opening Thai bank account on a non immigrant O Visa in case I encounter problems doing it myself? Any advice greatly appreciated thanks

Today we went to Saraburi Immigration Office to apply for my 1 year extension of stay on a Non-Immigrant O " Retirement" Visa as being over 50 years old in the bottom.

Their handouts about the requirements I asked about before did not quite add up to the ones we got when we came there.

Believe me we were prepared, my income letter from Swedish Embassy was worthless proving more income/pension than 65 000 baht per month , officer told me to instead open a bank account and start transfer 65k every month to get my extension.

Officer asked us to come back on 14th November and to get an update on my account and bank book and also to bring a certificate from the bank the day before.

The officer also asked about copies of my girlfriends rental agreement, we was prepared for that, but they also put like a postal stamp on it and told us to get copies of it, which our Immigration office do not offer so need go to fix nearby.

We brought everything from the landlord that was requested on the handouts in the first place, with copies.

Well it's only to do what the officer say so we head down to Kasikorn Bank to open an account.

Was no problem, they needed my passport, a letter from Immigration that I need a bank account (not an ordinary residence certificate document) for my extension and that I have a Thai phone number (sim card) connected to my passport, which we did before go to the bank, plus documents from girlfriends landlord that they owe the building we rent our apartment in.

OBS, this is only Saraburi offices rules of today.

Sorry for a long one.

Hi, Is anyone on a visa due to having a half Thai child (under school age)? Just looking to confirm the required documents. Thank you.

It reads to get a bank account you need a retirement visa, but to get a visa, you need a bank account.

What do you apply for first.

And if you’re out of the country for more than 90 days, is your visa revoked as you can’t check in with immigration?

Dear friends, is it possible to Switch my Tourist Visa based on Visiting my Thai Spouse, to Non Immigrant O spouse Visa while staying in Thailand, or it is mandatory to travel outside Thailand and apply for the Non O visa? Someone told me I can switch without leaving Thailand but still not sure, Experts please give advice. THANKS

I will get a Non Immigrant O Visa for my next visit, the question I have ... To open a bank account what is the customary amount required to just open the account for starters. I am not necessarily trying to deposit 800,000 for one year extension. Primary goal is to open a Thai account and slowly bring to 800,000. I will be leaving in 60 days with the Non-O Visa. Again, looking to just get and maintain an active Thai Account for future retirement Visa long term.
